Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrode plate unit and a battery using the same.
  • Fig. 14 shows a conventional secondary battery.
  • a battery case 51 housing a group of electrode plates 52 and electrolyte is closed by a lid 57 provided with a safety valve 56.
  • the group of electrode plates 52 has a structure in which a plurality of positive electrode plates 61 and a plurality of negative electrode plates 62 are laminated alternately via separators 63.
  • the positive electrode plate 61 and the negative electrode plate 62 are formed by filling a substrate with an active material.
  • a lead 53 is led out of the positive electrode plate and connected to the positive electrode terminal 54 provided on the lid 57.
  • a lead is led out of the negative electrode plate and connected to the negative electrode terminal 55 provided on the lid 57.
  • Substrates forming each electrode are produced by cutting out a metal plate. Since a punched metal is used for a substrate for the negative electrode plate, little flashing is formed due to the cutting. On the other hand, when a foam metal is used for a substrate for the positive electrode plate, fibrous flashing is likely to be formed due to the cutting work. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 15, there has been a problem in that a flashing 61a that occurs on the end portion of the positive electrode plate 61 passes through the separator 63 and is brought into contact with the negative electrode 62, thereby causing an internal short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes.
  • a structure of the secondary battery proposed in order to avoid such a problem is a structure in which an electrode plate unit in which a positive electrode collector plate is connected to one side of the group of electrode plates and a negative electrode collector plate is connected to another side of the group of electrode plates is housed in a battery case together with electrolyte, and the both electrode collector plates are connected to a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal, respectively.
  • the group of electrode plates and the collector plate can be connected by welding. By providing the welding places in several places, it is possible to improve the connection strength and collecting efficiency. However, further improvement of the connecting strength between the group of electrode plates and the collector plate and the collecting efficiency are required.

  • the "side face" in the group of electrode plates denotes a face parallel to the direction in which the electrode plates are laminated.
  • each of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate has positioning holes formed on the edge portion of the side to which the positive electrode collector plate or the negative electrode collector plate is connected.
  • each of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate has an electrode portion filled with an active material and a lead portion intervening between the electrode portion and the positive electrode collector plate or the negative electrode collector plate, and that the positioning holes are formed on the lead portion.
  • each of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, and at least one of the positioning holes has a circular shape and at least another positioning hole has an slot shape.
  • the positive electrode plate or the negative electrode plate is enveloped by the separator with the edge portion connected to the positive electrode collector plate or the negative electrode collector plate exposed.

  • the shorter side corresponds to the side parallel to the axial direction of the battery.
  • a third electrode plate unit includes a group of electrode plates in which a plurality of positive electrode plates and a plurality of negative electrode plates are laminated alternately via separators, and a collector plate connected to one side face of the group of electrode plates by a plurality of welding portions, wherein the interval between welding portions in the connection portion between the collector plate and the group of electrode plates is set to be narrower in the region in which the density of electric current collected by the collector plate is higher.
  • the variation in the collecting density in the collector plate tends to be increased.
  • the connecting portion between the collector plate and the group of electrode plates is subjected to a great thermal stress, and the connection tends to be fractured.
  • welding portions are provided with high density in the portion where the collecting density is high so that the connecting strength and the collecting efficiency are enhanced, it is possible to improve the reliability with respect to the collecting effect of the collector plate.
  • the "collecting density” denotes a current running in a unit cross-sectional area of the collector plate.
  • the collector plate is connected to the group of electrode plates so as to cover the entire surface of the side face of the group of electrode plates, in a region closer to the external terminal, the collecting density of the collector plate is higher.
  • the third electrode plate unit can have, for example, a structure in which the collector plate is disposed with one end portion protruded from the group of electrode plates, and the welding portion is formed so that the intervals between the welding portions are narrower in a region closer to the edge portion of the collector plate being protruded from the group of the electrode plates.
  • the end portion of the collector plate is protruded from the group of electrode plates, the end portion is allowed to function as a connecting portion for electrically connecting the collector plate to the other components of the battery (for example, an external terminal, etc.).
  • the collecting density is increased in a region closer to the end portion of the collector plate. Therefore, in order to enhance the connection strength and the collecting efficiency, by providing the welding portions with a high density in the region closer to the end portion of the collector plate, it is possible to improve the connection reliability of the collector plate.
  • a fourth electrode plate unit includes a group of electrode plates in which a plurality of positive electrode plates and a plurality of negative electrode plates are laminated alternately via separators, and a collector plate connected to one side face of the group of electrode plates by a plurality of welding portions, wherein a positioning hole is formed on the edge portion of each of the electrode plates being connected to the collector plate, and in the connecting surface between the collector plate and the group of electrode plates, the welding portion is formed so that the welding portion is not aligned with the positioning hole.
  • each electrode plate is provided with positioning holes, by inserting the pins into the positioning holes, it is possible to align the edge portions of the electrode plates. As a result, it is possible to improve the connection strength and the reliability of the connection between the group of the electrode plates and the collector plate.
  • the strength of the portion on which the positioning holes are formed is smaller than that of the other places. Therefore, it is thought to tend to be deformed or fractured due to heat when the collector plate is welded. The deformation or fracture of the electrode plate may cause the deterioration of the connection strength and reliability of the connection.
  • the welding portion is formed on the portion excluding the portion on which the positioning holes are formed, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the connecting strength and the reliability of the connection between the collector plate and the group of electrode plates.
